Promo & Post Mortem Interviews
Is there a lot of backstory with Saviors that we'll learn this season, or is it just encapsulated by Aladdin, Emma, and this oracle?
Kitsis: The first batch of episodes would be that. We're not going to really meet any other Saviors for the first half.
How will Aladdin and Jasmine be incorporated?
Horowitz: They get incorporated into the Storybrooke world within the first batch of episodes and there's slightly longer term arc plan for them.
Kitsis: We're going to be doing our spin on it, so episode five is going to be their backstory with a different take on what the movie was.
Lastly, Cinderella is returning this season. What is her arc like?
Horowitz: With Cinderella, it's less an arc than she returns in an episode and we may or may not see her more because we love the character. Her episode is very impactful on what's going on with Emma and Regina and all of our core characters.

Emma’s fate hanging in the balance is all part of the show taking a deeper look at what happy endings really mean. “What we really wanted to do was get inside Emma’s head,” Kitsis says. “Six years ago, when we met her, the very first thing she did to Henry is she said, ‘I don’t believe any of this.’ She even denied having a kid. We’ve seen her grow and fight and [go on] all these travels. We thought, what would happen if you really did all this? Is it fair to return the happy endings to everyone else and be told yours doesn’t come? Would you still keep doing your job? Are you doing it out of the sake of duty or because you believe in it? What kind of role model are you? We really wanted to get into Emma’s head this year, in a character way, and really explore what it means to have this responsibility.”

“Belle really is kind of in a place where she’s given up on Rumple,” says Kitsis, “but they have a child and that makes things messier, because you actually have to put aside your own feelings and put the child first,” no matter how “severely disappointed” she is in her mate.
Rumple meanwhile “truly loves Belle, he truly wants that child and truly wants to be a good dad,” Kitsis adds, “but he is a gangster and he’s not giving that life up.” As Horowitz notes, “When they’re in the dream world and she asks if he would change for her and he says, ‘For you, I would be the best man I can be,’ it’s a very carefully chosen set of words. He’ll be the best man he can be, but he can’t quite get to that place of actually being a good man. [T]hat’s the push/pull in that relationship, because she does love him and see the good and the bad in him and sees the potential, and it’s that frustration that continues to grow.”
Will Morpheus continue to play a role in his parents’ predicament? “Yes, we’re going to see him again,” answers Horowitz. “This was a taste of an introduction.”
